I have filmed and taken pictures of a lot of cars now for Rotting in Style. When it comes to muscle cars, I find Camaros all the time. However, this time, I bring to you a 1968 Mustang GT. Oh, and it’s a fastback!

Mustangs have been very hard for me to find, let alone a classic fastback. I guess that means Mustangs are worth keeping and Camaros are not? That’s right, I went there. Anyway, this fastback is indeed Rotting in Style at the Retro collection in Central Florida. Not as bad as other cars featured on here such as the old El Camino in Alaska I filmed a while back.

The condition is decent, actually. There are some bad rust spots, and the paint is shot, but the interior seems good, and so does the body overall. The driver side door is the worst. When you close it, rust falls like rain onto the pavement below. However, the owner has told me that he has acquired a new door for it since I filmed it.

That brings me to my next point: this car is NOT for sale, so please don’t ask. It belongs to one of the top dogs at Retro. It was originally his dad’s car, and he has some plans for it. He has acted on some of them including swapping in a fuel injected five liter from a 1980s Mustang. The rest of the plans include making her like Eleanor from the 2000 version of “Gone in 60 Seconds”.

She is a slow work in progress, but a work in progress none the less! Now, I have been told that this car is going to be getting a second chance, so if you want to get updates about the progress on this car, I would suggest subscribing to our YouTube Channel.

Until then, this car shall remain sitting, Rotting in Style.

Oh… Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook and Twitter as well, and drop by Retro’s Facebook as well and tell them The Random Automotive sent you. Thanks for reading!
